I-Team: Timeline uncovers details from day of riots

BALTIMORE —The WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team has new details about the chain of events on April 27, the day unrest and riots in Baltimore.

Many questions remain about key decisions that were made, some of which are now coming to light for the first time.

On the morning of April 27, a rumor spread on social media calling for high school students to take part in a purge, spurred by the science fiction movie of the same name that calls for 12 hours of lawlessness.

The target of the rumor was the Mondawmin Mall area in northwest Baltimore. Just down the street that day was Freddie Gray's funeral. His death in police custody had already fueled enough tension to cause scattered violence after demonstrations that weekend. Police commanders that Monday prepared for more trouble.

According to a timeline obtained from the Maryland Transit Administration, at 9 a.m. on April 27, there was a roll call briefing on possible unrest for all MTA police officers. It was one of several agencies involved that day.

Black Mayor
Black city council
Black States Attorney
Black Police Chief
Black judges
Black juries
Black Van driver charged with murder
And if the cops get off it will ALL be the white man's fault with these people. They are a national disgrace, a worldwide joke. If you go anywhere in the world and say you're from Baltimore immediately people picture blacks throwing rocks and looting and they will ask you if you feel safe living there. Way to go black people, acting like uncivilized savages.
